Chapter 24-Alana Deerr vs. Delores Umbridge
"Cleo" Alana exclaimed as she saw the designer talking to McGonagall in the great hall. "Alana!" Cleo yelled in her Hispanic ascent. "You look lovely" Alana said looking at what Cleo was wearing.
"Well this is some of the new garments which you and Jade will be modeling in" Cleo said. "Jade is coming too, nice" Alana said as a few students arrived. "I'm already here" Jade said as Alana gave her a hug" This shoot today is going to be sporty, and the students will be involved in creating that atmosphere" Cleo said as Alana grinned. "These are the new robes for the sports line hurry try them on in the back and let them help you" Cleo said motioning her hair and makeup assistants to help them.
"As an official of the minister of magic I am permitted to observe every shoot that exposes our beloved Hogwarts" Umbridge said as she entered the school. "I think Alana's photoshoot was going to start" Hermonine said as she was stopped in her tracks.
"Ms.Granger, Mr.Weasley, Mr. Potter" Umbridge said coldly. "What are you doing here" Harry said. "She is observing the photo shoot that's all, we are trying to cooperate the ministry of magic," Snape said. "I think everyone is going to be surprised" Hermonine said as they entered the great hall and saw Alana and a girl in sporty robes.
"I was dreading this shoot but it wont be that bad" Jade said looking at the boys. "Of course" Alana said knowing why she said that. "What is she doing here!" A girl yelled as Umbridge walked into the great hall.
"Who's this?" Jade said. "I don't know, everyone else does though" Alana said noticing the looks at the Gryffindor table. "Hello ladies I am Delores Umbridge, I'm observing the photo shoot" Umbridge said getting a better look at them. Alana nodded and turned to Cleo who looked disgusted as well. "Why don't we get started" Professor McGonagall said as the shoot got started.
"Alana just tilt your head a little to the right" Cleo said as the photographer took a picture of her walking towards the Gryffindor table. "Is that picture going to be used" Umbridge said rushing over.
"We're not sure till we see the prints" Cleo said annoyed. "Well I hope not a bunch of Gryffindors exposed like that," Umbridge said. "What?" Alana said. "Young lady this might be all fun for you but we have a dark lord on the loose and showing students can put them in danger" Umbridge said walking closer to her. "I doubt you care for the Gryffindor house, I'm in that house too and a few of them told me about you" Alana said as she walked over to Cleo. Umbridge looked shocked that Alana talked to her in a nasty tone.
"Jade I want you to sit near the Ravenclaw table just mingle in with the students" Cleo said. "Sure" Jade said as she walked over to Michael. "Hi, I'm friends with Alana" Jade said as Michael tried to speak.
"Me too" he barley said as they started to talk. "That's a good pose" Cleo said as Jade put her arm around a girl as they laughed at a joke. "Excuse me" Umbridge said walking to the Ravenclaw table.
"What was wrong with that" Cleo asked as Alana followed her. "Can we zipper her robe a little more up" Umbridge said attempting to do it herself. "Don't touch me" Jade said stepping back as students laughed. "I supposed you do find it amusing, your brother also is known for doing the most inappropriate things" Umbridge said as she saw Alana smiling.
"What about my brother?" Alana said. "I wish I have the power to suspend him and that partner of his. They'll get what's coming to them," Umbridge said. "What does that supposed to mean" Alana said loudly as Harry held her back. "Take it for what you see it" Umbridge said as Alana narrowed her eye her.
"All I see is a nasty scar on your right arm, that from what I hear you got by insulting centaurs. Didn't that teach you that when you insult someone or something that you are probably going to get hurt" Alana said as Harry looked at her. "OOO" Some students said. "Anything to defend your brother" Umbridge said as she walked out of the great hall.
"Ok what the hell did she mean by that, what does she have on my brother" Alana said as the photo shoot ended. "Calm down she probably wanted to goat at you that's all" Harry said as they walked to Gryffindor tower. He noticed Umbridge walking to the defense room.
"I'll be right behind" Harry said as Alana continued to walk. "Hogwarts seems normal, they are probably being tight lipped since I'm here" Umbridge said looking into a cup talking to it. "No sign of Dumbledore, did Steven Deerr's sister say anything" the voice replied back. "That's Fudge" Harry said listening by the door. "No" Umbridge said feeling someone watching her. Harry quickly walked away. "What are they up to" Harry thought as he walked back into Gryffindor tower.
"Where did you go" Alana asked. "I thought I heard something" Harry said. "I can see why everyone hates Umbridge that old bat. I want to know what she is planning to do to Steven" Alana said angrily. "Wait, I think she was just trying to scare you she is known for that. Don't get involved" Harry said.
"She has it in for you, what are you going to do" Alana said. "Nothing, Umbridge has no real power, she just sneaky" Harry said. "I guess you have practice in knowing who to trust" Alana said. "Yea" Harry said as Alana smiled. "What are you up to Umbridge" Harry thought as he looked out the window.
Two days later, "A weekend where I have time for myself" Alana said loudly so the rest of the girls can hear it. "What are your plans for today" Hermonine said as Alana was still in bed. "Sleep for the whole day, I'll be up by lunchtime" Alana lied as Hermonine waved.
"I'm sorry Hermonine" Alana said getting out of the covers and revealed a red tracksuit. She grabbed an old shoe from her trunk and touched it. Alana disappeared from the room. "Be careful Harry" Ron said as Harry got dressed as grabbed a cup from the back of his bed. "I will I have my invisibility cloak. I'll be in and out and hopefully get information we can use" Harry said as he put the cloak on and touched the portkey.
"Whoa" Alana said appearing inside the ministry of magic. "Welcome to the ministry of magic" Alana heard a witch said as she spanned around and blended in with some aurors. "That was close" she said as she looked at the directory.
"Department of International Magical Cooperation Level 5" she read and entered the elevator. "Come on leave something" Harry said to himself as he started to look at some papers in Umbridge's office. "What's that?" Harry said as he heard a group of footsteps, he hid behind his cloak and walked to the bathroom.
"Here we go" Alana said putting her hair in a bun so people wouldn't recognize her. "Ms. What are you doing?" A guard said. "Hi, I wanted to surprised my grandmother" Alana said pointing to Umbridge's office.
"I didn't know she had a granddaughter" the guard said. "She likes to keep it a secret, can you please honor that" Alana said sweetly. "Sure" the guard said opening the door. "You're a lovely man" Alana said as he closed it.
"Ok, if I were a nasty old woman where would I put valuable information" Alana said opening a file cabinet. "Steven Deerr" one file read as Alana picked it up. She took out her wand and said "Effingo" as copies of Steven's file appeared right next to it. Alana smiled and shoved the papered in her book bag. "What else is in here?" she thought as she looked. "Harry Potter" she read. "Effingo" she said quietly as copies appeared.
She closed the file cabinet as walked to her desk, "nothing" she said frustrated as she felt someone watching her. "Who's there?" Alana said as she looked around the room. She walked back towards the bathroom; a hand comes from behind and covers her mouth. "Ahh!" Alana screamed.
Chapter 25-Umbridge's office
"Ahh!" Alana screamed as she stomped the prowler's foot. "Ow" the prowler yelled. "Get off" Alana yelled. "Shh, shh, shh. It's ok, it's ok. Take it easy. What are you doing here?" Harry said as the cloak fell to the ground. "We must have had the same thought. You're looking for information on Umbridge, too, right?" Alana said.
"Are you out of your mind? You have to get out of here!" Harry said trying to control his temper. "Just wait, I overheard Malfoy and his friends talking in front of the Stlytherin room" Alana began to say. "Why were you following – why are you following the Slytherins?" Harry said in disbelief.
"I was trying to get information and he said to Goyle that she was leaving her office to head to Azkaban today and that's she was working on a report for Fudge. Maybe it's in this room. Harry, if we find it" Alana said. "There's no we Alana" Harry replied. A key turns in lock and Harry and Alana look at each other. Harry grabs his cloak and puts it around him and Alana and they jump into the closet.
"Hello, this is Delores Umbridge. Would you send me up the salad special from the cafeteria please? I'm so hungry I could eat a small child" Umbridge said. "Did you hear what she said" Alana whispered as Harry held her closer.
(Knock on door) "McGonagall" Umbridge said. "You sound disappointed" McGonagall said entering the room. "I was expecting my lunch. What do you want?" Umbridge said annoyed. "Oh, I just wanted to know the real reason why you wanted to observe that photo shoot?" McGonagall said looking around. "You know the answer to that Minerva" Umbridge interrupted her.
"Right, Right, nothing to do with Alana Deerr's brother or Harry Potter. I think you wanted to keep an eye on them" McGonagall said. "Are you done, I'm getting bored" Umbridge said. "Leave the students of Hogwarts alone, that's the only chance you got" McGonagall said and leaves. Harry and Alana looked at each other.
"Umbridge" A voice said coming from the fireplace. "Fudge" Umbridge said as the minister of magic's head appeared. "He must be communicating from the fire place" Harry whispered. "We need to talk right away. This plan of yours isn't going to work" Umbridge said. "This is a bad time" Fudge replied.
"McGonagall was just here and pretty much confirmed that Potter and Deerr's sister are on to me" Umbridge said. "I said I can handle Potter and I will. Everything's going according to plan. Don't panic" Fudge said angrily. "No guarantees. If I have to get rid of them, I will" Umbridge said as Fudge's image left the fire.
Alana looked at Harry, when she turned to look at him a broom fell. Umbridge heard the noise from the closet. "Well you know I'm not a patient woman. If you don't want me to take action, you better do it yourself and I mean soon" she said getting out her wand. "Fine, I'll try to wait. But I reserve the right to protect myself if I have to" she said as she walks closer to the closet. "Bombarta" she yelled as she aimed the spell at the closet.
